quote of the day (June 13)

Before today's quote, I'd like to post a video of an incredible performer we had an opportunity to see last night. We had just planned to see our friend/alert reader Matt Miller's bluegrass band as the opening act, but we were drawn in by the headliner as well. Theresa Andersson is her name - she's a one-woman band who plays several instruments and uses looping equipment to record herself on-stage and create some amazing songs. You can find her tour schedule and other information on her myspace page.

Anyway, she gets the following award (not for marksmanship):

Now onto the quote, also music-related. From Stephen Frears' excellent movie made from Nick Hornby's excellent book, High Fidelity:

"Uh Rob, thank you for the enthusiastic intro but we are no longer called Sonic Death Monkey. We're on the verge of being Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but this evening we will be known as Barry Jive and the Uptown Five."
--Record-store employee/slacker Barry (Jack Black) introduces his band

Wait, I'm gonna be in The Holiday in a few years? Where was Shallow Hal 2 when I needed it?
